Hunt Club House was built as a forever home. @west_of_west designed a low-slung gabled structure in a clearing in the Portland woods, almost entirely of wood: Douglas fir outside, knotty timber and book-matched oak inside, for a family thinking decades ahead. The Stump belongs here. Solid wood among solid wood, built to be used and kept. A table that will still be here when the kids come home from college. Photography by @pablo.enriquez .

Most furniture belongs to one setting. This piece doesn’t. Material Studies I in Lime White.

What independent studios share isn’t an aesthetic. It’s discipline. Patience. The freedom to work on their own terms. A refusal to design for a season, and a commitment to make work that outlasts trends, timelines, and expectations. The Residence gathers a room full of that kind of practice. Curated by @gen_assembly and @assemblylineshop , with work from studios and makers we’ve been watching and thinking about for years. These are the people we want to keep working near. Work by @juntosprojects , @incommonwith , @_salamhello_ , @bowenliustudio , @ryedesignstudios , @stevenbukowski , @armadilloandco , @fernhandcrafted , @fort_standard , @h.bigeleisen , @ravenhill__studio , @sibastfurniture , and @yuxuan_huang__ On view at 144 Vanderbilt by appointment, daily.

The Cube is the smallest piece in Material Studies II. Also the most revealing. Four variations. Stone and mirrored aluminum. Each changes with placement, light, and what surrounds it. Deep veining in Mineral Blue, warmth in Iron Red, a softer glow in Mineral Gold. Mirrored aluminum returns the room to itself. The stone holds it there. It invites arrangement, because it’s worth looking at from every angle.

The things we keep noticing. The showroom, over time. The first issue of @032c , from when it was still newsprint. Last image by @laurejoliet

Material Studies II remains on view through April 30. A coffee table, bench, and four cubes in aluminum and stone — placed close enough that edges blur, reflections multiply, and forms dissolve into the room. Stone flattens in photographs. Mirrored aluminum resists them entirely. It becomes whatever is around it. In early May, the work moves to New York City for NY Design Week. Until then, it’s here.

More of you live with our work in New York than anywhere outside Los Angeles. We’ve seen it in photographs, our tables in Brooklyn kitchens, our beds in West Village bedrooms, our chairs pulled up to windows we’ll never look out of. The Residence, curated by @gen_assembly and @assemblylineshop , is the first time we’ve brought the work to you at this scale. Staged inside a duplex at 144 Vanderbilt — @solidobjectives and @tankhouse ‘s new Fort Greene building, wrapped in pink precast concrete. A home, not a showroom, arranged the way the work is meant to be lived with. Open now, by appointment, every day. The first of several places to find us during NY Design Week.

Rugosa outdoors. Cedar because it ages the way we think furniture should.
